Be Thankful for What Trump Is Not
PJ Media ^ | 4 Jun, 2017 | ANDREW KLAVAN

Posted on 06/04/2017 6:16:48 PM PDT by MtnClimber

I sometimes wonder: How many people are really stupid enough to believe in the insane religion of the left? Outside of our idiot intellectual elite, I mean. Outside of the knuckleheads on the New York Times op-ed page, or the buffoons who give literary awards to Ta-Nehisi Coates, or the jackasses who serve as administrators of universities. I can't believe that any substantial number of regular people are as moronic as these folks, that any substantial number really believe that, say, gender is a social construct or Islam is a religion of peace or socialism improves lives or man-made climate change threatens the existence of humanity.

This week, I entertained myself for an idle hour with some leftist reactions to President Trump's withdrawal from the environmentally useless and economically harmful Paris climate accord. "A traitorous act of war against the American people," thoughtfully opined leftist billionaire Tom Steyer. "Your kids are gonna die from climate change," was the sober judgement of Vice News editor Chelsey Coombs. "The United States resigned as leader of the Free World," was the sage assessment of CNN's Fareed Zakaria..........

Which is why this au revoir to Paris is so encouraging. By withdrawing from the accord, Trump proves he is not susceptible to the influence of the usual knuckleheads. He seems deaf to the echo chamber, indifferent to media acceptance, immune to the atmosphere. In fact, some of the very things that make Trump unappealing to gentle folk like me — his belligerence, his recklessness, his bullish and even bullying insistence on his own vision — are also what sometimes lift him above the Leftist Crazy that so addles the intelligentsia.

Excellent!!!

We just have to keep up with not letting anyone get away with anything...

I love what Fir age has been saying on twitter, he is pounding the heck out of what's going on...

The people in London had a ‘Donald Trump’ rally today...they love him!!! (But we love him more...)

It's sad that their police are not allowed to use weapons, the people would be so much better off with protection...

We have ‘terror cells’ I hear in every State across America, if you know them, tell us, we need to take them down...Michigan what a sad State that has become, diseases from illegals; muslims every where...why???

June 10th they are having several ‘Anti-Sharia Rallies’ in some States...we need to make our voices heard, We are Americans and they live by OUR LAWS or they can leave...

We love Our President and stand 100% behind him and we have his back, anyone does anything to harm him in anyway and you will have the wrath of HELL come down on you...

Americans are FED UP, and those running for a seat in Government best know, if your not behind Our President, you will NOT be going back to D.C. hope ya all heard that!!!

Trump can adjust to the circumstances, which is one of his greatest strengths. The brash Donald Trump served, and still serves, a purpose. It got him here and will continue to help him move his agenda forward.

People mistakenly took Trump’s brash combativeness and showmanship to mean that he wasn’t serious and was incapable of discipline. On the contrary. Glad to see people like Klavan finally starting to get it. It took him long enough.

I have a sister who worships at the altar of the Shrews on The View. When Bozo was still prez, I asked her what she thought of Benghazi and got a question in return of who is Ben Ghazi..I can’t believe we are cut from the same cloth, totally night and day.

Thank you for your excellent groundwork.

I fully recognize that many people want faster change, to return to our roots, to lower taxes, cut regulations, and build the wall NOW. I, too, wish things moved faster.

However, the government of the US is not a corporation where, basically, the CEO can make a decision and enactment can happen tomorrow. There are three branches, protocol, rules and laws, bureaucracy, and (as we now know) a Deep State that can throw sand in the gears.

As long time FReeper LS reminds many of us, we won't get everything we want. We won't get tax cuts AND Hillary behind bars. Personally, I'd take the tax cuts because Hillary in an orange jumper won't grow investment and income. But that's ok....watching free citizen Madame NOT President morph into Courtney Love on an almost daily basis is pure gold.

So, I am thankful for what Trump is Not. I sit, patiently, knowing that for every setback, I will see subsequently two bursts of awesomeness with President Trump and his retinue. I am playing long ball. And may the covefefe be with you!

I have neighbors who have CNN on 24/7. That’s all they know about the world. I have learned not even to discuss anything different - their minds have been made up for them, and I value them as neighbors.

I was speaking to a cousin who's going to New Zealand in a couple of months. She actually said she needs to get there before it's gone in 10 years, because of Trump.

She's a typical leftist. Unbelievable.

Good list of things that are NOT true:

1) gender is a social construct
2) Islam is a religion of peace
3) socialism improves lives
4) man-made climate change threatens the existence of humanity

I agree, with the following stipulation:

Gender most assuredly is a social construct: It is a linguistic term, and thus a product of language, which is a product of culture.

It is sex that is not a social construct.

There are many genders, depending upon the language.

There are but two sexes; any aberration is just that: an aberration.

I consider it imperative that we take back the English language from the communists who have subverted and perverted it to further their agenda.

Someday we well take back the English language!

We will be gay again and sex will have nothing to do with it, lol.
